Elite Direto help and advice
Quote | Reply
New to smart trainer.
when I start (no app connected, 39x25) the trainer has about 300w resistance to get started. The resistance gets easier in Power mode 100w or level 1 but when slowing goes back to about 300w (On myeTrainer app about 280 before it shows 0).
That just doesn't seem right.
The question is how should I be using the trainer and how should it perform?
I watched GPLama youtube review on Direto (and ERG mode) and he got on and spun away. Is trainer broken?
Contacted Elite and not much help (but times are tough in Italy).
I'm leaning toward returning the trainer as defective.
Thanks for any basic help on expectations and use.
I normally use TR on Power tap wheel and Fluid2.

If nothing is connected how are you measuring this 300w or resistance? Every trainer has a flywheel and you have to put in some power o get that flywheel spining, and again when the flywheel is spinning it is storing kinetic energy which will show as power on your powermeter or training app.
This is my experience with my Direto.
What gear do you use the reccomendation is to use the small chainring and a medium gear? The faster you spin the flywheel the more kinetic energy it stores.
